cca-io / quick-translate Goto Github PK

Jump to the first empty field when clicking on it.

• Make buttons more visually appealing
• Support description field at least in source.
  • Show via hover tooltip?
• Make it clearer which part of the GUI is the source and which are the targets

Also, always restore last opened session.

Possible config parameters:

• encoding (offer at least utf-8 and ISO 8859-1) utf-8 is fine (properties files are fixed to ISO 8859-1)
  • this one is only necessary for properties files, which are ISO 8859-1 in Java 8 or lower, but UTF-8 in Java 9 or higher.
• CSV: separator
• Json: keys for id, defaultMessage, description

Store and keep config in localStorage

E.g. via DeepL

When a target file has existing translations for ids that have since been removed from the source file (or maybe renamed there), these translations will be silently removed.

It would be nice to inform the user about this and/or still show these old translations somewhere for inspecting or copying.

That's a bit annoying.

inputs with focus have a smaller text than usual, which makes it hard to read on smaller screens

Add a basic test runner, primarily to test all the file conversions end-to-end:

e.g. Input.json --> to DataSheet --> to Output.json --> check if Input & Output are equal
or Input.json --> to DataSheet --> mutate some text --> to Output.json --> check if equal besides the changed strings

Be able to import CSVs other than the ones exported by the app.

An idea to not need to rely on a translation memory but still be able to use the same translations for the same words automatically over multiple files.

• First, implement logic to auto-translate strings which already occured somewhere else
• Second, allow to import whole folders, or (as the heuristics may be weird) use a small config file
• Third, have tabs for the different sections (as in Excel)

E.g. by using vite-plugin-pwa

Use a nice dialog instead of window.prompt/window.confirm

Detect by ID.
Ask for merge or replace.

If a source message contains a {value}, check whether it is also there in each translation message.
The hard part is to also support plural rules because of curly bracket nesting.
